Class-specific attribute weighted naive Bayes

作者:

Highlights:

• Almost all existing attribute weighting approaches to naive Bayes are class-independent.

• We propose a new class-specific attribute weighting paradigm for naive Bayes.

• The resulting model is called class-specific attribute weighted naive Bayes (CAWNB).

• To learn CAWNB, we propose two gradient-based learning algorithms.

• The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
